The Healthcare Industry & Current Opportunity

The Healthcare Industry & Current Opportunity

Recently the Healthcare Industry has been under considerable pressure. Hospitals, retirement homes and care facilities face staffing shortages, while the senior population requiring extra care continues to grow.

Statistics Canada reports that the senior population has more than doubled since 2001 and estimates that over the next 25 years, that number could triple.

The Canadian Medical Associations and the University of British Columbia echo these findings, stating:

  • 1/3 of Canada’s population will be 65 or over by 2056
  • Seniors account for nearly half of all health care spending
  • Industry is currently in a growth phase due to the growing elderly population and the shift toward home health care as institutions struggle to meet demand
  • Industry revenue is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 3.0% to $4.8 billion
  • In 2018, of 1.2 million Canadian adults that needed home care services, 26% found their needs were unmet

There is a clear trajectory of growing demand, along with a shift from institutionalized healthcare to home care, to meet this expanding need. Healthcare services are recession-proof, will always be in-demand, and growth in the older population will result in more individuals needing additional care.

Tranquil Care is proud to be a part of the solution on both sides, as we offer staffing services to care facilities, as well as directly to seniors within their home.

Owning a franchise within the healthcare industry is not just a great opportunity, but a chance to provide care to those in need and make a meaningful impact in people’s lives.
